Mother Teresa of Calcutta Garden in Old Havana
St. Nicholas of Myra Greek Orthodox Church in Mother Teresa of Calcutta Garden at the back of the Convent of St. Francis of Assisi.
It was built by the Cuban government as a gift from the Cuban people to the Orthodox Church and was named after St. Nicholas who is the saint protector of sailors and ships.
Saint Nicholas of Myra,whose feast is on the 6th of December,is the patron saint of sailors and is often called upon by mariners who are in danger of drowning or being shipwrecked.Greek ships carry an icon of St. Nicholas as he is regarded the master of the winds and tempests.

"In a sense the soul is all existing things." - Aristotle - Hegel
Enjoy the green shades of the tropical garden and let me ponder,as usual ; there are thoughts which are prayers ; this may be the life of the mind,but it is no ivory tower ...
"Humans are naturally inquisitive and exploratory,we need the unknown,what historians of religion call "otherness," to lend our lives significance." David Nicholson-Lord
" To bliss unknown by lofty soul aspires, My lot unequal to my vast desires. " John Arbuthnot
"There is the feeling that God is everywhere, and the more I live, the more I see that in nature, in the country. When I see a tree, I see that God exists. I try to catch and to convey the idea that we have a soul and that the soul is in contact with God." Robert Bresson

Epic Poetry in Ancient Greece & Religion
According to many religious historians,St.Nicholas’ life story and legends resemble much of the mythology and legends attributed to the ancient Greek God Poseidon.
A further interesting connection,between St. Nicholas and Poseidon,lies in the Books XI and XXIII of Homer’s Odyssey epic poem.Odysseus is instructed by the blind prophet Tiresias to offer a sacrifice to Poseidon,and then his journeys would be over.
Where do Mythology and Religion intersect? Where do they diverge? Do we ascribe to myth what we don’t understand ?
An Interdisciplinary Approach to Myth & Theology
As a result of a sudden impulse and without forethought,I brought to my mind the term theology as it appears in the writings of the Greek philosophers Plato and Aristotle.
Initially,theology and mythology were synonymous.With time though,
both terms gained distinctive qualities and the word myth,which is associated with the unreal world and fiction,got another meaning in academic discourse; a myth is also defined as a set of beliefs or assumptions progressing towards truth.
I also recalled the theories of some distinguished scholars and writers on the subject matter,such as :
J.R.R. Tolkien's love of myths and devout Catholic faith came together in his assertion that mythology is the divine echo of "the Truth".Tolkien wrote that myths held "fundamental things".
He expressed these beliefs in his poem Mythopoeia circa 1931,which describes myth-making as an act of "sub-creation" within God's primary creation.Yet,C.S. Lewis adopted Tolkien's opinion despite the disagreement they had over some aspects of Christian Theology.

Macro Mondays: Book
The Narnia books by C.S. Lewis are some of my favourite books. I have read them many times since i was a child. I read them to my boys when they were young (even in the bath).
This is a funny little wooden lion for Aslan (3" with disproportionately long body :); the White Witch's crown is made from a little Christmas paper bag; Wardrobe is a little box with a few lines added. HMM :)
British Camp an Iron Age hill fort located at the top of Herefordshire Beacon in the Malvern Hills along the Herefordshire-Worcestershire border.
The British Camp is composed of extensive earthworks that have been compared to a giant wedding cake. Midsummer Hillfort is a mile south of the British Camp. There are a number of generally round hut platforms on the British Camp, which may well suggest a permanent occupation. However it is unusual to have two major hillforts within such a short distance. The diarist John Evelyn remarked that the view from the hill was "one of the godliest vistas in England".
The ditch and counterscarp bank around the entire site covers three hills, although those to north and south are little more than spurs. With a perimeter of 6,800 feet (2,100 m), the defences enclose an area of around 44 acres. The first earthworks were around the base of the central hill otherwise known as the citadel. At least four pre-historic phases of building have so far been identified. Original gates appear to have existed to east, west and north-east.
There is no evidence about whether the coming of the Romans ended the prehistoric use of the British Camp, but folklore states that the ancient British chieftain Caractacus made his last stand here. This is unlikely, according to the description of the Roman historian Tacitus who implies a site closer to the river Severn. Excavation at Midsummer Hill fort, Bredon Hill and Croft Ambrey all show evidence of violent destruction around 48 AD. This may suggest that the British Camp was abandoned or destroyed around the same time.
Medieval castles were sometimes built within earlier sites, reusing the earthworks of Iron Age hill forts for instance as was the case at British Camp. A ringwork and bailey castle, known as Colwall Castle as well as The Herefordshire Beacon, was built within the Iron Age hill fort, probably in the ten years immediately before 1066. Quite possibly the builder was Earl Harold Godwinson, the future King Harold II of England. Earl Harold is recorded as building another fortress in the county at Longtown Castle. The castle would appear to have been refortified during The Anarchy of the reign of King Stephen. Before 1148 the fortress was held by Waleran de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Worcester. The castle appears to have changed hands again in 1151 and 1153 when attacked by royalists. At this time it was defended by the men of Earl Waleran's brother, Robert de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Leicester. The castle was finally destroyed by King Henry II in 1155 and mentioned in passing by William Langland before 1386.
A popular legend tells that Caractacus, a British tribal chieftain, fought his last battle against the Romans at the British Camp and goes on to say that after his capture he was taken to Rome where he was given a villa and a pension by Emperor Claudius.
Donkey in the morning misty rain, McAlisterville, Juniata County, Pennsylvania. Title from "The Ass" by. C. S. Lewis.
I woke and rose and slipt away
To the heathery hills in the morning grey.
In a field where the dew lay cold and deep
I met an ass, new-roused from sleep.
I stroked his nose and I tickled his ears,
And spoke soft words to quiet his fears.
His eyes stared into the eyes of me
And he kissed my hands of his courtesy.
“O big, brown brother out of the waste,
How do thistles for breakfast taste?
“And do you rejoice in the dawn divine
With a heart that is glad no less than mine?
“For, brother, the depth of your gentle eyes
Is strange and mystic as the skies:
“What are the thoughts that grope behind,
Down in the mist of a donkey mind?
“Can it be true, as the wise men tell,
That you are a mask of God as well,
“And, as in us, so in you no less
Speaks the eternal Loveliness,
“And words of the lips that all things know
Among the thoughts of a donkey go?
“However it be, O four-foot brother,
Fair to-day is the earth, our mother.
“God send you peace and delight thereof,
And all green meat of the waste you love,
“And guard you well from violent men
Who’d put you back in the shafts again.”
But the ass had far too wise a head
To answer one of the things I said,
So he twitched his fair ears up and down
And turned to nuzzle his shoulder brown.”

Looking out from Herefordshire Beacon, in the Malvern Hills along the Herefordshire-Worcestershire border. It is 1,109 feet (338 m) high, although the Victorian era inscription at the foot of the hill puts its height at 1,145 feet (349 m). It is surrounded by a British Iron Age hill fort earthwork known as British Camp. The boundary between Herefordshire and Worcestershire is about 100 metres (330 ft) east of the summit. It is called the Shire Ditch and it is thought to have been built over a law. It was built in two phases and the Citadel on top is known to be medieval, as a castle or a hunting lodge but it was only occupied for a very short amount of time so it is thought to be symbolic. It was thought to be originally built as a ritual site but it also had something to do with the salt industry at the time.
The Malvern Hills are a range of hills in the English counties of Worcestershire, Herefordshire and a small area of northern Gloucestershire, dominating the surrounding countryside and the towns and villages of the district of Malvern. The highest summit of the hills affords a panorama of the Severn valley with the hills of Herefordshire and the Welsh mountains, parts of thirteen counties, the Bristol Channel, and the cathedrals of Worcester, Gloucester and Hereford.
The name Malvern is probably derived from the ancient British moel-bryn, meaning "Bare-Hill", the nearest modern equivalent being the Welsh moelfryn (bald hill). It has been known as Malferna (11th century), Malverne (12th century), and Much Malvern (16–17th century). Jabez Allies, a 19th Century antiquarian from Worcestershire speculated that 'vern' was derived from the British words 'Sarn' or 'Varn' meaning pavement or seat of judgement.
They are known for their spring water – initially made famous by the region's many holy wells, and later through the development of the 19th century spa town of Great Malvern, a process which culminated in the production of the modern bottled Malvern Water.
The Hills have been designated as a Biological and Geological Site of Special Scientific Interest and as national character area 103 by Natural England and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty by the Countryside Agency (now Natural England). The SSSI notification has 26 units of assessment which cover grassland, woodland and geological sites. The site (The Malvern Hills SSSI (Chase End Hill)) is listed in the 'Forest of Dean Local Plan Review' as a Key Wildlife Site (KWS). Management of the hills is the responsibility of the Malvern Hills Conservators
Flint axes, arrowheads, and flakes found in the area are attributed to early Bronze Age settlers, and the 'Shire Ditch', a late Bronze Age boundary earthwork possibly dating from around 1000 BC, was constructed along part of the crest of the hills near the site of later settlements. The Wyche Cutting, a mountain pass through the hills was in use in prehistoric times as part of the salt route from Droitwich to South Wales. A 19th century discovery of over two hundred metal money bars suggests that the area had been inhabited by the La Tène people around 250 BC. Ancient folklore has it that the British chieftain Caractacus made his last stand against the Romans at the British Camp, a site of extensive Iron Age earthworks on a summit of the Malvern Hills close to where Malvern was to be later established.
J.R.R. Tolkien found inspiration in the Malvern landscape which he had viewed from his childhood home in Birmingham and his brother Hilary's home near Evesham. He was introduced to the area by C. S. Lewis, who had brought him here to meet George Sayer, the Head of English at Malvern College. Sayer had been a student of Lewis, and became his biographer, and together with them Tolkien would walk the Malvern Hills. Recordings of Tolkien reading excerpts from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings were made in Malvern in 1952, at the home of George Sayer. The recordings were later issued on long-playing gramophone records. In the liner notes for J.R.R. Tolkien Reads and Sings his The Hobbit & The Fellowship of the Ring, George Sayer wrote that Tolkien would relive the book as they walked and compared parts of the Malvern Hills to the White Mountains of Gondor.
This is a lion MOC I made to be Aslan for my Narnia minifig collection. My favorite part about it is the face build, which I think looks nice from the front as well as from an angle.
It is slightly large compared to a minifig.

This month's book is the third in the Chronicles of Narnia series. This book (so far) is quite different than the first two, but I am really enjoying it. As a horse lover, my daughter would love this one.

'Prince Caspian followed Nikabrik to the stone table, and out of the dark corners of the chamber came out a hag and a werewolf.
"What you hate so will we." Said the hag, who pulled back her hood to reveal her terrifying face with the beak of a vulture.
"Can you guarantee Miraz's death?" Asked Caspian. Then the werewolf grabbed Caspian, for the Prince did not like the long knife the hag was holding. She then made a circle in the floor and cut his hand. Then pulled out a wand. She placed it on the stone stairs that lay before them, creating a magical ice wall, in which the spirit of the White Witch came forth, putting Prince Caspian in a trance.
Then Peter, Edmund and Lucy, along with Trumpkin, came running in. Peter fought with the hag, and Edmund slayed the werewolf. In an attempt at Lucy's life, Nikabrik was also killed.
Caspian, still in the trance, was pushed aside by Peter, who was quickly deceived by the White Witch. Suddenly, the ice wall cracked and shattered. Edmund had destroyed it with his sword.
This originally was my Prince Caspian Lego Ideas design, but I decided to make one of the battle at Aslan's how, and incorporate a smaller version of this.

"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. If none of my earthly pleasures satisfy it, that does not prove that the universe is a fraud. Probably earthy pleasures were never meant to satisfy, but only to arouse it, to suggest the real thing. If that is so, I must take care, on the one hand, never to despise, or be unthankful for, these earthly blessings, and on the other, never to mistake them for the something else of which they are only a copy, or echo, or mirage. I must keep alive in myself the desire for my true country, which I shall not find till after death; I must never let it get snowed under or turned aside; I must make it the main object of life to press on to that other country and to help others to the same."
